The economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic reinforces the problem of rising
electricity prices, which mainly affects countries that are forced to pay ever-higher CO₂ …

Amongst the various natural and readily available renewable energy sources, wind has
been one of the most sought-after sources for energy generation due to its virtually …

The ideal position for a roof mounted wind turbine is investigated experimentally in a wind
tunnel. The set-up consists of two cube-shaped buildings. A Savonius (drag driven) vertical …

Urbanisation brought an increasing prevalence of groups of high-rise buildings and raised
new questions about their impact on local wind flow conditions and the wind energy …

Diffuser-augmented wind turbines are known for the potential improvement in power
extraction in comparison with open wind turbines. Despite the large number of research …

Contrary to the extensive amount of research on large wind turbines, substantial analyses of
small wind turbines are still rare. In the present study, the wind energy potential of three …

Wind energy is gaining special interest worldwide due to the necessity of reducing pollutant
emissions and employ renewable resources. Traditionally, horizontal axis wind turbines …

To understand the favourable locations for maximum yield of urban wind energy,
understanding the flow pattern on the roof region of high-rise buildings is crucial. However …

The placement of a scaled-down Savonius (drag) vertical-axis wind turbine on model
buildings is analysed experimentally by the use of turbine performance and flow field …

An increasing number of engineering applications require accurate predictions of the flow
around buildings to guarantee performance and safety. This paper investigates the effects of …
